What We Had And What We Don't

by Octavia Kendall

After Japan is forced to get an abortion for his and America's deceased baby, he leaves America, who had children with Lithuania. However, when Latvia falls deathly ill, America is forced to return to Japan to get the cure. There, he sees that Japan had children and is married, but America's still in love with him. Will the two leave their new lovers for each other? (AmeriPan)

12. Chapter 11

Japan sobbed the rest of the day, staring into the empty crib. America could only watch, tearing up slightly as he watched him cry.

"Kiku."

Japan clung to America, not letting go.

Japan cried as he pushed one final time. America grabbed the baby and wrapped it in a towel. "A girl. We had a girl."

Japan cried happily, rather than out of pain. "Can we name her Grace?"

"Of course," America said. "Grace Honda-Jones."

They both said it at the same time. "I love you."
